TECHNICAL SHEET
DESCRIPTION
HONEST FIRE is a one-component coating having a blend of eight different ceramics combined in a water-based formula to create a barrier against extreme flame impingement and heat migration. The coating can withstand direct flame up to 2000F (1093oC) by hardening on the surface at first contact, while continuing to provide the necessary insulation value. The resin blend binds the compounds together and forms a char to matrix the ceramics across the face of the coating, facing the flame. HONEST FIRE is designed to stay intact with constant adhesion at extreme temperatures while remaining flexible. It is applied over HOT PIPE COATING to create a system to use over structural steel. TYPICAL USES
As fire protection for: strategic locations on warfare ships, engine rooms and galleys on commercial ships, corner beams, elevator shafts, stairwells, walls, ceilings, and boiler rooms
To control and contain fires in high-rise buildings; prevent the spread and collapse of support structures
NYC approval for two hours on support beams
